Happy 2009!

After 10 years, Steve and I traded in our annual New Year's Eve Party for a family-friendly New Year's Day Party. We borrowed a bounce house from a friend, set out juice boxes and beer, bloody mary's and minosas, and served black eyed peas for luck.

Our guests brought contributions for our time capsule, which we'll bury in the back yard, later today. Then, next year, we can dig it up and remember the fun times we had and see how much we've all changed.

Happy New Year to all! Here's to a prosperous 2009!
